Sound diffusion panels--do they reduce brightness?


My listening room is still a little too bright
The doors behind the seating area have 2 absorbing panels. It has been suggested that adding 2 diffusion panels in this area of first reflections will cure the brightness. Does anyone have experience with these diffusion panels ?

Good idea on the near field setup first. Will try that tonight. Will also play around with the ottoman dampening test. thanks
Get rid of that chandelier !!!! Seriously, will that make a difference? I too have some glass fixtures almost directly over my top firing OHM I's Ive always wanted to ask this. thanks. Mike
Hi Blueskies,

Have you solved, or at leat diagnosed, the problem with excessive brightness?
